GERMANY FOR WAR,
Unmistakabie Signs ofn Growing War
Sentiment.

BERLIN, July ll,--If the temper Of the
German press was faithful reflection Of
the government, war with France would
only be the question Of few days. The
revelations at the Klein trial, the French
tax ON foreigners which is openly design,
cd to effect Germans, the prohibitive i'm.
port on German spirits have combined to
incense those people to the utmost, The
latter measures, by themselves, had been
held of less account but associated with
general sense that French enmity be i'm
placable, and that II seeks to wound tho
Germans where il can, waiting for q
chance to inilict the deadliest injury. The
trial of Klein Is the fifth treason trial In
which clear proof was offered that the
French War Ministry has organized a
system of espionage, A worse case than
any revealed is under inquiry. An EN-.
ploye Of the Central administration at
Strasburg is about to be tried at Lcipsic
lie is charged with selling to the French
War Office all the official reports sent to
the Chief Administrator OF Alsace by his
various subordinates The completeness
of this system of espionage suggests that
treason is still at work and
that any moment may bring
further revelations. The official irrita,
ton equals that Of the public, and both
officials and the general public would ap.
prove the strongest diplomatic remon.

ung explicitly declares that any further
show of considerations toward France Is
impossible. that u country whose whole
policy towards its neighbors springs from
feelings of wrongness and hatred has no

The Tayblatt says: IF In spite Of all

France and Germany must open It's bloody
maze, France will either be ovcrtaken by

a war conscious that they had done the
best to avoid a conflict"
The National Zeitung, which Is noted
for the moderation Of Its articles says:
1T is impossible to close our eyes to the
dangers of recurring hostile incidents,
The seed of hatred against Germany sown

repute associated with the notorious

to save their wardrobe, and when they

struggled to flee will never be known, as
none OF them except Sadie Wells and
Mabel Powers were ever seen again

THE UNION PACIFIC.
some Amusing Information Regard
Ing Its Expenses.

KANSAS Cry, July S.-The venerable
Judge Usher, Of Lawrence, who up to a
short time ago acted rs attorney for the
Union Pacific, appeared before the com.
mission to-day and detailed at length the
early history Of the company. When the
advantages Of Omaha as q terminal point
were first presented to President Lincoln
he remarked: why, I've got quarter
section Of land near there, and II locate
the terminus at that point. people will say
am personally interested In the matter"
The fear OF this however, did not prevent
President Lincoln in finally deciding on
Omaha, The Judge was asked IL 81. 000.-
900 Of ste ok had been issued to Gen. Stone,
one of the original promoters Of the or.
ganization. He explained that Stone had
only subscribed for $4,000, 900 on the
companys books and received books
which stated that J. G. Stone had sub.
scribed for so many shares of stock, etc.
The Judge added that he did not consider
them certificates of stock They were
afterward treated rs spurious by the com.
pany. Hc denied that he had received
from Stone or Bennett n certificate of
$3.50 900, or promise of that SUN. Certiti
Gates had been distributed among con
gressmen.
This afternoon the witness was ques.
toned regarding various extraordinary
amounts which appear on tile books Of
the company as charged TO tho loyal nc
count. These are specimen vouchers
read by Gov. Pattison; Il. W. Dennis,

gars and liquors for Legislators. 1904, i30;

Judge Usher said there was quite n
number Of those interested in Union
Pacific affairs stationed at Washington In
those days and they were very hungry
and thirsty. Anderson, one Of the num-
Der, would buy good deal OF whisky,

other vouchers were read and explained
to the best OF the Judges ability. His

THE BUREAU OF LABOR STA
TISTICS.

RALE1GH, N. w., MARCH 10, 81.
At the recent session Of the legis-
lature an act was passed creating a
bureau of labor statistics for North
Carolina. The purpose Of the bureau
as defined in the act is as follows:
The said commissioner shall col
lect information upon the subject Of
labor, it's relation to capital, the
hours Of labor, the earnings Of la
boring men and women, their edu-
cational, moral and financial con-
dition and the best means of promo
ting their mental, material, social
and moral prosperity. Xxx The
commissioner shall annually pub-
lish a report in pamphlet form and
send or cause to be sent a copy Of
the same to every newspaper pub
lished in the State, a copy to each
member Of the general assembly Of
North Carolina, a copy to each of
the several State and county officers
of the State, a copy to any citizen
who may apply for the same either
personally or by mail, and one hun
dred copies to each of the several
labor organizations which may be
in existence at the time of the pub
lication of the report, in this State.
He shall also make a full report to
each session of the general assembly
Of the information collected and
collated by him and containing such
recommendations as he may deem
calculated to promote the efficiency
of the bureau. The commissioner is
hereby directed to endeavor to pub
fish an accurate list of all the news
papers published in the State, and
whether the same be published daily
or weekly, and to forward to each
and all a copy Of his report promptly
upon it's being published; he is also
directed to diligently inquire after
the labor organizations of the state
and to see that none + omitted
in the distribution of the reports;
he is further directed to confine his
labors to this state"
From the foregoing it will be cen
that the purpose Of the legislature
in establishing the bureau was to
place before the people Of our State
as far as the same can be done, the
moral educational and financial con-
dition of the working people of
North Carolina. To do this a great
amount of information must be gath
cred from many sources. A large
part of this information must be
collected by correspondence. Fol
lowing the plan adopted by other
State bureaus, blanks have been
prepared, with questions, which if
answered will elicit the information
designed to be obtained by the act
creating the bureau. Those in the
State who may be interested in the
work for which the bureau was
created, whether they be employers,
or employees, landlords or tenants,
are solicited as correspondents, and
any such to whom this notice may
come are requested to send their
names on a postal card to the "Bu-
e of Labor Statistics, Raleigh, N.
Z" The above mentioned blanks
will be sent to those who apply,
with a return stamped envelope, in
which replies will be expected to
questions asked. Correspondents will
receive the reports and publications
OF the department., and any informa-
ton it can give relating to it's work.
